DEVICE FOR COUNTING OBJECTS FED AS BULK MATERIAL
First Claim
1. An apparatus for counting objects fed as bulk material, comprising:
- a first feeding device for the preliminary counting of a first defined sub-quantity of a desired number of objects, anda second feeding device for separate feeding of a second sub-quantity of the desired number of objects,wherein the number of objects in the first sub-quantity is communicated to a control device, which controls the second feeding device such that the second sub-quantity of objects is fed as many objects as are necessary in order for the second sub-quantity of objects to correspond to the difference between the first sub-quantity and the desired number of objects, and the first sub-quantity of objects is poured into the second sub-quantity of objects.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for counting objects fed as bulk material, comprising a first feeding unit for pre-counting a first fixed subset of a target quantity of objects and a second feeding unit for preferably separately feeding a second subset of the target quantity of objects, wherein the device (1, 7, 10) is designed such that the quantity of objects of the first subset is transmitted to a control apparatus (5), which controls the second feeding unit such that the second subset of objects is fed enough objects that the second subset of objects corresponds to the difference between the first subset and the target quantity of objects, and the first subset of objects is poured into the second subset of objects.
